  • Hydrodynamic Tilting Pad Journal Bearings: An Inspection Guide
    . Based on Miba's collective experience, the following information will help keep your machine and the hydrodynamic journal bearings inside it in working order.
  • Reduction of Hot Oil Carry-Over in High Speed Running Turbo Application Bearings
    Tilting pad journal bearings are used in turbo machines like turbo compressors, turbo gears, gas turbines and steam turbines. By increasing the power density, the applied loads and velocities have been increased simultaneously over the last decades.
  • Tilting Pad Fluttering
    Tilting pad fluttering is a well-known phenomenon in journal and thrust bearings. The contact between the pad and the rotor can lead to bearing damage and, in the case of journal bearings, trigger subsynchronous rotor vibration with high amplitudes. Numerous approaches exist to solve the problem
  • Gear Loads in Horizontal Gearboxes
    At Miba, we routinely repair and manufacture sleeve and tilting pad journal bearings for gearboxes. Typically, these gearboxes are single or double helix parallel shaft design and are used as single stage speed increasers or reducers in critical service in a refinery or chemical plant. The two
  • Improvement of Tilting-Pad Journal Bearing Operating Characteristics by Application of Eddy Grooves
    In high speed, high load fluid-film bearings, the laminar-turbulent flow transition can lead to a considerable reduction of the maximum bearing temperatures, due to a homogenization of the fluid-film temperature in radial direction. Since this phenomenon only occurs significantly in large bearings
  • Optimized Bearings and Dampers Provide Long-Term Solution to Vibrations
    Over a 13-year span, a major South American oil company's maintenance department fought recurring high vibrations in three gas reinjection compressor trains. To reduce the likelihood of machine trips, technicians field balanced each compressor once or twice a year and replaced the worn tilt pad
